I think we did design a combo with the Pilum for BeowulfCan't remember if we built a Pilum derived frame yet, or found Combinations for it)

No, the Pilum can theoretically combine with the Steed but we would need to research other options, or something like that
Alright, time to create a plan.
@Basarin Can we upgrade our TMU squadron to use Seekers?
Ok also,
When we see a well-put-together thing, we don't always see how much work went into putting it together so well. I can only imagine that this time, it took Holey Cheddar amount of work.
I'd like to remind everybody that C-Crystals work not for "People on our side", but for "People with noble hearts". Which means that Westphallians are just as likely to be able to use them - after all, they believe they're working for a noble cause. And that's why I'm all for letting some C-Crystal equipment fall into their hands.This should not only yield enough power for a super robot, but would also have the benefit of being incapable of being used for evil. It doesn't matter if Westphalians steal a C-Crystal if they can't use it, nor if they steal a robot powered by one if they don't have a power source just as capable.
Does the Pegasus count towards this limit? IE, could we deploy Beowolf, the Jackals, the Phalanxes, and the Pegasus?2. And sorry, should have been specific on it. You can bring in up to two.
- Triple Combination should only take 1 turn since that's what was stated on Turn 6, Year 3 Results
- The Knuckle dusters and the Shard kit are not listed as things we can fabricate on the indicated page. Also, it would be helpful if the single-use items were put in their own category, instead of being lumped together with the normal upgrades.
- I am assuming that installing an energy blaster on Ichiro won't need an upgrade slot, since it would presumably replace the main cannon and ammo stowage area.
- I will not be able to adjust the plan based on feedback until tomorrow afternoon, since I have work.
I was under an impression that this Triple Combination was already finished (either Y3 Turn 7, or this turn), and the Triple Combination in the voting options was a different one.- Triple Combination should only take 1 turn since that's what was stated on Turn 6, Year 3 Results

If you have trouble making friends, use your fist. Or a non-lethal Huge Magical Beam.And even if that's wrong, if anime has taught me anything it's that any pilot capable of using a C-Crystal would be ripe for Befriending to the side of unity and justice.
Triple combination isn't finished. It is Y3 turn 7. As such, we still need to assign people to finish itI was under an impression that this Triple Combination was already finished (either Y3 Turn 7, or this turn), and the Triple Combination in the voting options was a different one.
Things I noted with your plan:If you have trouble making friends, use your fist. Or a non-lethal Huge Magical Beam.
Also, here's a general vote outline. It's mostly done, but can benefit from y'all's input a bit. There are three main points: a) can a single Advisor do Pilot Training with multiple pilots? b) no idea which gear to develop, so I copied the "assign Zulu to Energy Weapons" from CaptainWolf's plan; and c) Katarina can be assigned to Sergey Gorshkov project, or act as a second Liason, I have no strong preference either way.
--== Defence Force section ==--
[ ] Reaction Force: Active Monitoring
- [ ] Adriana - gain chance at Disadvantage (1d6) to uncover additional details.
[ ] Highway Robbery! - Free Brothers
- [ ] Deploy Richard Callaghan/Beowulf, with the CR-02 Phalanx Squadron, Ocular, and the Pegasus
I copied this part from CaptainWolf, because combat and support unit optimisation is kinda over my head right now. Technically, this is the fourth point where I could use y'all's advice.
[ ] Pilot Training: Charlie, Frankie, Iris
- [ ] Haruko Sasaki (may re-roll a failed roll)
- Green, Threshold of 3-6
[ ] Liaison: Dr. Yukimura/Yukimura Institute
- [ ] Katarina (Adds 1d6)
- Relations: Friendly
- Baseline Threshold: Moderate (5-6) (2d6-> 3d6)
- After showing that you are capable of fighting against the Kaiju, that has apparently increased Dr. Yukimura's opinion of you. But you're not entirely sure if he realizes that Jiro is working for you just yet...maybe that's something you need to clear up with him before any misunderstandings cascade into something catastrophic.
[ ] Liaison: Mander/MSS
- [ ] Diana (reduce the Threshold by 1)
- Relations: Neutral
- Baseline Threshold: Moderate(5-6)-> (4-6) (2d6)
- Note: You owe them a favor (Deployment #3)
- You owe Mander a favor. But aside from that and having met the pilot (with hilarious results, admittedly) you don't know much about MSS at all. Maybe it's time to meet, if at least to hash out how better to cooperate in future operations.
--== Engineering section ==--
[ ] Refit Super Robot
- [ ] Advisor: Lana (Roll 2d6 (Threshold of 5-6). On success, reduce the Duration by One Turn. May offer a re-roll to any failed Engineering roll once per turn).
- [ ] Super Robot: Ichiro
- [ ] Refit Ichiro's cannon to be a Kausen Energy Blaster, give him Anti Gravity Treatment, install K-Scale and K-Circuits
This part was also copied from CaptainWolf, because it seemed like and obvious set of choises
[ ] Design Super Robot Core Unit
- [ ] Can at least partially organic robot be built with existing K-class materials?
- [ ] Jiro Yukimura (gain 1d6 per roll, Critical Success is now 4-6 depending on Success Threshold)
- Chance of Success (Roll2d6-> 3d6, Threshold Varies)
- Duration: Two Turns+
[ ] Construct Super Robot Support Unit(s) / Design New Equipment (Weapon)
- [ ] Autonomous attack/support drones (aka Funnels / Bit Control System)
- [ ] Boris Ignatov (Threshold for success on AI actions is reduced by One)
- Chance of Success (Roll 2d6, Threshold Varies)
- Duration: Two Turns+
[ ] Enemy Wreckage Analysis
- [ ] Wilde and Henry (no bonus)
- Chance of Success (Roll 2d6, Threshold of 5-6)
- Duration: One Turn
--== Science section ==--
[] Explore K-Class Psychic Augmentation
- [] Ivanna May re-roll any failed Science roll once per turn)
- [] What happens when a person boosted with C-Crystal uses ESP on the K-Class materials?
- Chance for Success (roll 2d6, Threshold of 6)
[] Kausen Weaponry
- [] Zulu (add +2 to the value of the lowest rolled d6)
- [] Energy weapons for support units (or non-Heavy energy weapons in general)
- Chance for Success (roll 2d6, Threshold of 5-6)
- Duration: Two Turns
[] C-Crystals
- [] Max Brand (add 1d6)
- [] Can C-Crystals interact with K-Class materials directly?
- Chance for Success (roll at Disadvantage, 1d6 -> 2d6, Threshold of 4-6)
- Duration: Two Turns
--== Special Actions section ==--
[ ] Super Carrier Sergey Gorshkov
[ ] Does NOT require an Advisor, but let's assign Katarina here anyway. Adds 1d6.
Chance of Success (?) (Roll2d6-> 3d6, Threshold of 5-6)
Duration: Two Turns Remaining
Notes: This is another carryover from the previous turns. This will carry on regardless of what you do - however, you may get a bonus for modifying your own drop ship further down the line if you invest more into it. Either way, hilarity is guarantee to ensue.
[ ] A Helping Hand - Ground Pound
-[ ] Sam Carlson (add 2d6)
Chance of Success (Roll2d64d6, Threshold of 6)
Duration: Three Turns
Ah, so it's not Turn 8 after all.Triple combination isn't finished. It is Y3 turn 7. As such, we still need to assign people to finish it
2. Yeah, I'm mainly advocating for triple combination because we've already almost finished it, and because it would be a useful trump card if an enemy proves to be really strong.2. I'm not too enthusiastic about Triple Combination, but I am kinda bothered by "there's just 1 turn of work left" projects.
3. E~eh...
IDK if this is a helpful idea, but it occurs to me that the Pegasus would likely not be able to just hover over the convoy, as that would pretty clearly indicate that an attack is expected. As such, the Pegasus would need to either be waiting at the University, or pretend to be doing supply runs. In both cases, it would take time for the Pegasus to reach the battle.😑
Fiiiine, I'll let it slide.
And maybe add a few mobs to compensate, grumble grumble...
I considered having Katrina on the supercarrier, but I just don't consider it to be useful enough. Putting someone on it only increases the chance that we may get a bonus to modifying the Pegasus later, but if we later modify our dropship we will probably stack multiple advisors on the modifications anyway.I'll vote for this since it seems to be the only plan right now. Though I will say I would like to put someone on the Supercarrier but besides this I'm fine with it.
